Durrani rejects call for ban on birth control ads
 Information Minister Muhammad Ali Durrani on Monday rejected a call for banning PTV advertisements promoting birth control medicines and items used exclusively by women. Durrani made these remarks in a reply during Question Hour in the National Assembly (NA). MMA's Muhammad Laeeque Ahmed had questioned the steps being taken by the government to control such advertisements. Durrani said that the advertisements for birth control medicines and items used exclusively by women were cleared by the PTV Censor Board. "All such advertisements are properly censored by senior media professionals. Therefore banning them will not be appropriate," he said. The issue could not be discussed further because of lack of time. Posted by: Fred 2006-08-08 |
